Some great responses.
I would agree. I have a fund called Dodge & Cox International Stock that has some emerging markets in it. It has done well the last few yrs. If you like ETFs you could look at " EEM " . There are quite alot of emerging market ETFs to choose from.
Good Investing to you!

Above are correct. With a One World Economy on the Horizon and Free Trade already going. Many opportunities now exist in this area. I watch India and China mostly. I have a hard time trusting the Russians. But, that another story. Remember though, how countries relate with each other has a lot to do with these investments. Example; say you invest with a company in Russia. Then we get on a bad note with Russia. Your investment could quickly become null and void! But, in my opinion, I see the world is learning to work together in Business, it will help everyones' economy over TIME! This my opinion; investment carries an amount of risk and a person should not invest more than they willing to lose.

It's always a good time to begin investing. Emerging markets? You missed two or three years already, but a long-term (up to 20 and even 50 years) forecast indicates emerging markets (Brazil, Russia, Mexico, India, China and others will only grow. Go ahead and do it.

You should have put money in the emerging market sector a couple years ago.
Regardless, emerging market investments can help round out a good diversified portfolio.

Look at your "asset allocation" and see if it fits. I would suggest no more than 2-4% of your stock portfolio should go in this area.
Remember: Nothing effects your long term success in investing more than the correct Asset Allocation.

I think so. Many South American and Asian economies continue to grow at a record pace.
